- Additional information
- The incidence of algal blooms is increasing worldwide due to global climate change. Many of these are cyanobacterial blooms, which can be extremely harmful. In this NERC and Innovate UK funded research, a novel, low cost, plasma micro-reactor for cyanobacteria control has been developed, which is shown to be highly effective and able to lyse the cells and remove the toxins enabling a safe supply of drinking water.
